Post Production

Rough Cut
Editor Plays an important role in the film making process as they remake the film in the editing suite. Editors work closely with the Director before shooting begins, deciding how to maximize the potential of the screenplay

Post Production Sound

Dialogues can be re-recorded over the scenes by the original actors in a dubbing studio. This process is known as the ADR (automated dialogue recording). Composers work with the director to write instrumental music and songs for the film. Once all the necessary sound tracks are recorded, the final sound mix can be created.

Digital Effects and Titles

Digital effects are the fastest growing sector of the UK film industry, and most films today contain a number of digital effects. This can be CGI (computer generated images). When the picture edit is near completion, the films credits will be added by a digital compositor

Grade and Colour

The Telecine operator (the colourist) makes all the shots look as though they belong visually to the same film. In the grade, the colourist tweaks the colours and contrasts to make the film look smooth and uniform.

Final Mix

The output of the mixing process is called the final mix. This means that all the various tracks of sound in the film have been mixed at their appropriate levels and synchronised with the sound. Once the picture lock is established, the sound mixer puts the final touches to the films soundtrack to make sure the film is as engaging and professional as possible.

The Final Cut

Once the final cut is agreed, the film is ready for duplication.
